BTEC Extended Diploma in music

So I'm gonna apply for a music BTEC next year and I'd like to hear some opinions about it from people who have studied/are studying it. I am more interested in music performance than music technology but I really don't care which one you are doing/have done. Every little piece of info matters, so if you have some experience of the music BTEC extended, please tell it to me.

Anything goes. Was it hard to get to the course? Was the course rating very strict? Did you find the teaching interesting? And, last but not least, what college did you study in?

Thank you

Is anyone here doing the Music Performance BTEC outside of London? Everything seems to be so expensive in London that I'll be going somewhere cheaper. Like Leeds or Birmingham.

You have a choice for college? Most students just go to their local college for the course. Are you confusing college with university?

I hope you didn't enrol in this abomination course. I did it for a year and i realised what a ****ing disabled **** i was. The course is piss easy and its actually just an attendance game. Are you a chav/ghetto? If not then its advisable to steer away because these chavs/hood guys can make the course very uneasy. the reason why i got kicked out was because my anxiety couldn't tolerate the chavs/ghetto people. I was ****ing scared of them.

Do another course but just avoid arts subjects - its full of evil people

I had a lot of fun in it, however I had a minimal and quite intimate class (less than ten people over the two years) and we all got on with each other. You don't neeeed huge amounts of musical experience, however for the practical units (if you class chooses them) you will need to do something. I managed to get a distinction star in music performance btec, and it was my 5th Subject over my A-level career, i'd recommend it if you are thinking about doing anything musical, or if you have a massive passion for music, otherwise it might just feel like a burden

Well if everything goes OK and I don't die before college I'll probably do something very musical for the rest of my life. And I do feel an absolutely massive passion towards music. So I guess it wouldn't feel too bad. What college were you in and how experienced where you at the beginning of the course?

I was in a sixth form center in Surrey, probably nothing like a London college, but I had grade 8 Piano and Bass guitar going into the course. But it's not entirely about the playing if we're talking about the same course, it's about the entire music industry and you can learn a load of things about performance and getting into the industry through this course

In which college did you do the course?
